Questions & Answers about آنها نهایتاً قرارداد را امضا کردند.
How does the word نهایتاً get its meaning of "eventually"?
It is built from the noun نهایت meaning "end" or "limit". By attaching the Arabic suffix ـاً (-an), it becomes an adverb meaning "finally" or "eventually".
What is the symbol at the end of نهایتاً and how is it pronounced?
That is a "tanvin" symbol (two small diagonal lines) sitting on top of an Alef. In Farsi, this Arabic spelling is used specifically for the -an adverb suffix, so the word is pronounced "nahayatan".
Why do we need the word را after قرارداد?
The word را is the definite direct object marker. Because "the contract" (قرارداد) is a specific, definite thing being signed, we must place را directly after it.
How does the verb امضا کردند work here?
It is a compound verb consisting of the noun امضا (signature) and the past tense verb کردند (they did). Farsi frequently uses "light verbs" like کردن combined with a noun to create new actions, translating together as "they signed".
